FSADM(8)FSADM(8)NAMEfsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device
SYNOPSISfsadm [options] check device
fsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]
DESCRIPTIONfsadm utility resizes or checks the filesystem on a device. It tries
to use the same API for ext2/ext3/ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.
OPTIONS-h --help
— print help message
-v --verbose
— be more verbose
-e --ext-offline
— unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize
-f --force
— bypass some sanity checks
-n --dry-run
— print commands without running them
-y --yes
— answer "yes" at any prompts
new_size
— Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem,
or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024). If
new_size is not supplied, the whole device is used.
DIAGNOSTICS
On successful completion, the status code is 0. A status code of 2
indicates the operation was interrupted by the user. A status code of
3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed
because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online fsck.
A status code of 1 is used for other failures.
EXAMPLES
"fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M" tries to resize the filesystem
on logical volume /dev/vg/test. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize. All [y|n] questions
will be answered 'y'.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
TMPDIR Where the temporary directory should be created.
